It took a while, but it's done. I like it! It has the feel I was looking for. I still need to add more people and cars and as the surrounding scenes get filled in I'm sure I'll tweek a thing or two, but this is the nature of the hobby. Please leave me some comments as to what you think of it.

| An aerial view of St. James Church, Cemetary, the parking lot and the rutted and rundown dead end of Bisbee Ave. |
 |
| Looking to the east from Western Ave. you see Lucky's Bar in the foreground, the pharmacy next door and the back of Saint James church and Cemetary. |
 |
| A photo of the kids playing basketball in the church lot in front of Abes Radio Repair. (I hope they don't hit that Woody with their basketball!) |
 |
| Business is good at Dixie's Diner as the cook waits outside for a delivery. The diner is perched overlooking the Santa Fe yard office as well as the State road 57 tunnel. |
 |
| The Western Ave Citgo Service Station, Mulders Pharmacy and Lucky"s Bar are all on Western Ave. In the background you can see a tree fort over looking the Santa Fe mainline. |
 |
| Lucky's Bar on Western Ave. is a dingy little dive with live music on the weekends and cold Budweiser 7 days a week. Its stucco walls could use some patching as the bricks are showing through. |
 |
| Looking down the dead end of Bisbee Ave behind the Deli and St. James Cemetary. This street has seen better days. |
 |
| The apartments and homes along Bisbee Ave are full and the all the truck traffic makes it a noisy place to live. |
 |
| Another aerial view of St. James landing, looking to the west and the backs of the business on Western Ave. The paint factory will be going in soon in the lower right hand corner along the tracks behind Abes Radio Repair. |
